Milk--I've finally saw it!

I've been so excited to see this film, ever since seeing the trailers for it. I knew it was going to mean something, leave an impact. It most truly did. It tells the story of the great Harvey Milk, during the last eight years of his life, from his loves, fights, rallies, friends, and more. Remarkable picture. Gus Van Sant did a amazing job of telling the story of Harvey and the people around him during his time on earth. Many issues are being shown in this film, which only can make it a stronger film. People will talk about it, discuss, share opinions...use communication to help solve the world's problems. I love that movies can do that, as it did in earlier times. If you support his cause, see it. If you disagree, see it. If you are not sure where you stand, see it. Come to the theatre or your couch/favorite chair..whatever, with an open-mind ready to experience something special. Milk definitely is something special. It may change your mind, so please have an open-mind. I'm happy I saw this, when people may mention they saw Milk by renting; I will say with pride, "I saw that when it was in theatres!". A moving experience...deserves all the recognition it has received.
